Skype puts off IPO

"VoIP service Skype has reportedly delayed its IPO until later in the year, citing a need for higher revenue and a plan to get the company 'in better shape'," writes Smartcompany's Patrick Stafford.

"This latest report highlights what many analysts believe to be a fairly shaky plan for an IPO, given the company said it has doubts over whether the company can ever become profitable," Stafford writes.
